Learning Plan and Direction for C/C++
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
# Learning Plan and Direction:
Choosing a more challenging, higher-threshold C++ path means fewer available positions but a wider variety of directions.
Career Options:
- Business-oriented roles: Backend, client-side, game development, audio/video development
- Low-level, high-performance roles: Operating systems, databases, network libraries, caching pools
- Broad directions: Artificial intelligence, big data, network security
# Game Related：
Rendering Pipeline: Learn how to leverage graphics hardware to render images, including lighting, shadows, textures, and materials.
OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan: Understanding these graphics APIs helps you learn how to communicate with hardware for rendering.
3D Models and Animation: Covers handling 3D models, skeletal animations, and physics simulations.
Shader Programming: Learn to write shaders on the GPU using GLSL, HLSL, etc.
- A game engine requires efficient concurrency to support multi-core CPU architectures.
Use multi-threading to manage various tasks such as rendering, physics simulations, and AI.
Collision Detection: Understand how objects collide and interact in 3D space.
Rigid Body Physics: Learn to simulate movement, rotation, velocity, and acceleration of solid objects.
Soft Body Physics: Tackle more complex simulations (e.g., cloth, fluids).
Linear Algebra: Matrices, vectors, quaternions, and transformations—fundamental for graphics and physics engines.
3D Spatial Understanding: Managing coordinate systems, rotations, scaling, and other transformations in three-dimensional space.
Numerical Computation and Optimization: Ensure the engine runs efficiently by addressing potential performance bottlenecks.
(All of this is more of a future consideration—game development is an interest, not part of the main career plan.)

笔记
Github项目：找C++项目（语言限定），star>5000GitHub Project Search Tutorial (opens new window)
- 相对来说，Websever烂大街一些，相关的开源项目多一些
- C++中的后端大部分技术，包括网络编程，linux，多线程，其他方向也可以用得到
- 项目举例：轻量级HTTP服务器 (opens new window)
复线或者优化核心模块，面试的时候说得出项目结构，实现过程，所用技术就可以
操作系统 哈工大 李治军 (opens new window)
- 自己做一个OS、compiler
- MIT6.828 MIT6.824 Stanford144跟着做lab
操作系统项目：
- 进程调度：实现基本的 进程调度算法，处理进程状态的转换和调度
- 内存管理：实现 虚拟内存、分页和分段管理，并设计内存回收和页面置换算法
- 文件系统：实现文件存储、读写、权限管理等基本功能
- 比如写数据库：设计简单的
查询处理和事务管理系统。实现基本的存储引擎，如支持B+，树索引，哈希索引
